whitespy-readytofly quad setup. I need recommendations!

[twistedsteelpony]

So I’m planning a build of a v3 tricopter.
I have never flown a proper multirotor. Only micro-toy kinds. I couldn’t even tell you which one as it was borrowed.
I am a much better builder than pilot and I expect repairs. So I may save the carbon booms for later and cut myself some spruce arms.
I’m basing my tastes on reviews I’ve seen. So I have (on those arbitrary basis) decided I want to buy from whitespyquads.com
i believe they are also known as ready to fly quads
I am going to list my current build list but I figured I would give y’all a chance to make recomendations without simply saying that will or won’t work.

I own a spectrum dx5 and a five channel receiver. Should I upgrade?
Battery:
I own turnigy 3s 2200.
I could make a pair in parallel?
Or is four cell a much better choice?

are those always out of stock?
I’ve been considering

and all the mounting issues it might bring.
Anyone know a good source for the bluebird servos?

For fun

I am definitely capable of soldering this system

Now all I need is blue servo wire
or illusive braided sleeve

I can’t really say much about most of your build but I would recommend some other props. When I first got my Tri i had the same props and they worked pretty well but they did break really easily. I flew into a really thin branch on a tree and broke one. When I started to run out of props, I decided to order some higher quality ones, HQ-Prop carbon fiber reinforced multirotor props. They seem to hold up a lot better but they are also a lot smoother in the air. With the slowflyer props, my tricopter would tilt to the left when I throttled up a lot and now it’s completley smooth. They are also a lot quieter and I was able to turn down my gains to almost half of what I used with the SF props.

I really appreciate that. I was acting on a basic thought of cheap disposable parts but if it results in bad performance I can definitely find better options. Even if they aren’t blue???? its ok
any chance of a link to what worked for you?
I understand if we are using different sizes.

I brought mine from a swedish store but they are HQ-Prop 9×4.5 multirotor propellers
